BHF awards us for Operational Performance for the second year

At the Board of Healthcare Funders ( BHF ) Conference , held in Cape Town in May , the annual Titanium Awards were announced which benchmark industry excellence . The Awards recognise and reward medical schemes , administrators and managed care organisations which provide best value and service to their members . Bonitas was presented with the Titanium Award for Excellence in ‘ Operational Performance ’ for the second year in a row .
The ‘ Operational Performance ’ category required nominees to demonstrate how they have created , supported and sustained access to affordable , quality healthcare services for their members . Part of the submission requested verification of :
• Growth over the past three years
• Credit rating
• Proof of average increases
• Health governance measures
• Preventative healthcare benefits
• Risk benefits
The award marks another big win for Bonitas , after being recognised as the Medical Scheme of the Year in the inaugural New24 Business Awards earlier this year .
This recognition by the BHF further endorses the strategy we adopted , which is to be agile and play our part in reshaping the healthcare ecosystem by bringing affordable , quality care to more South Africans . As a Scheme with a history spanning over four decades , we have a thorough understanding of the dynamics of the healthcare industry in South Africa . Offering plans that cater for the healthcare needs of people from all walks of life , is the foundation for our success and ensures our relevance in an ever-changing industry . We will continue to strive to deliver on our promise of being the ‘ Medical Aid for South Africa ’.
